Global Capability Centers (GCCs) are no longer just cost-saving hubs – they are now strategic powerhouses. Over the past decade, GCCs have evolved from being back-office support units to playing mission-critical roles in driving innovation, strategy, and revenue for multinational companies. Today, we are witnessing a significant shift – more CXO and leadership roles are housed within GCCs, shaping global decisions and business impact.
With India cementing its position as a preferred destination for GCCs, Kerala’s Technopark is emerging as a strategic hub for global enterprises. A recent survey by two leading consultancies highlights Thiruvananthapuram, Kochi, and Kozhikode as the top tier-2 cities in India for hosting GCCs. Among these, Technopark in Thiruvananthapuram stands out as a premier destination, offering world-class infrastructure, a skilled talent pool, and a business-friendly ecosystem.

Kerala’s Rising Status as a GCC Hub
According to a report by Colliers India on ‘Emerging Investment Opportunities in India,’ Kerala’s IT hubs – Technopark, Infopark in Kochi, and Cyber Park in Kozhikode – have been recognised as emerging GCC destinations. Factors such as high-quality infrastructure, availability of land, and robust connectivity make these cities highly attractive for global enterprises.
A separate study by Inductus Limited further reinforces Thiruvananthapuram’s status as a GCC hub, citing proactive government policies, low attrition rates, and a strong IT ecosystem as key enablers. With about 50% of Fortune Global 500 companies leveraging India’s GCC ecosystem for R&D and innovation, this number is projected to scale up to 70% by 2030.
Technopark: The Future of Global Capability Centres
With more than 490 companies employing over 75,000 professionals, Technopark continues to evolve as a nucleus for IT and business innovation. The park’s sustainable growth model and futuristic approach to workspace development make it the perfect launchpad for GCCs.
According to Deloitte India, the country’s GCC market is projected to reach $110 billion by 2030, employing more than 1.5 million professionals. This growth aligns perfectly with Technopark’s expansion plans, making it the ideal investment destination for global enterprises looking to set up their GCCs in India.
